FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULTIN CROP INJURY, POOR PEST CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

PRODUCT INFORMATIONThorough coverage is essential for good mite and insect control on crops.Do not apply Abacus V by aerial application in New York State.Abacus V is an emulsifiable concentrate that will control certain pests on the crops listed on this label when applied according to the Directions for Use.Abacus V has been tested for phytotoxicity and has a wide margin of safety on a variety of crops. Abacus V has also been shown to be compatible with many commonly used pesticides, crop oils, and nutritional sprays. However, since it is not possible to test a large number of possible mixtures, the user should pre-test to assure the physical compatibility and lack of phytotoxicity effect of any proposed mixtures with Abacus V.

CHEMIGATIONDo not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

SPRAY DRIFTResponsibilityAvoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator.The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all of these factors when making application decisions.Note: When states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.

Spray Drift Precautions for Application with Aircraft or Ground Application Equipment• Apply Abacus V only when wind velocity favors on target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph).• Do not apply with ground application equipment within 25 ft. of or with aircraft within 150 ft. of lakes, reservoirs,

rivers, permanent streams, marshes, pot holes, natural ponds, estuaries, or commercial fish farm ponds.• Do not cultivate within 25 ft. of the aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip.• Do not allow this product to drift onto non-target areas. Drift may result in illegal residues or injury to

non-target species. Risk of exposure to sensitive areas can be reduced by applying this product when the wind direction is away from the sensitive area.

• Do not apply when the weather conditions may cause drift.• Avoid application when the temperature is high and/or the humidity is low. These conditions increase

the evaporation of spray droplets and the likelihood of drift to aquatic areas.• Do not apply when wind speed or wind gusts are greater than 15 mph.• Do not apply when wind speed is below 2 mph because wind direction will vary and there is a high

potential for inversion.• Observe the following precautions when using ground application to spray tree crops or hops in the

vicinity of aquatic areas such as lakes, reservoirs, permanent streams, marshes, potholes, natural ponds,estuaries, or commercial fish ponds:

� Do not apply Abacus V when weather conditions favor drift to aquatic areas. � Do not apply within 110 ft. upwind of aquatic areas or when wind speed is above 8 mph. � Spray last 3 rows windward of aquatic areas using nozzles on one side only, with spray

directed away from the aquatic areas. � Avoid spray going over tops of trees by adjusting or turning off top nozzles. Shut off nozzles on

the side away from the grove/orchard when spraying the outside row. Shut off nozzles when turning at ends of row and passing tree gaps in rows.

Spray Drift Precautions for Aerial ApplicationDrift Management RequirementsThe following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops.• Outermost Nozzle Distance

The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.• Nozzle Direction

Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees.

• Maximum Wind SpeedDo not apply when wind speed is greater than 15 mph.

• Droplet SizeThe most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions).

• Controlling Droplet SizeVolume: Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.


5

Pressure: Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.Number of Nozzles: Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.Nozzle Orientation: Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the air stream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.Nozzle Type: Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift.

• Boom LengthFor some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.

• Application HeightApplications should not be made at a height greater than 10 ft. above the top of the target plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.

• Swath AdjustmentWhen applications are made with a cross wind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind.

• WindDrift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application must be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential.

Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.• Temperature and Humidity

To compensate for evaporation when applying Abacus V in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets. Evaporation of droplets is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry.

• Temperature InversionsAbacus V must not be applied during a temperature inversion because the potential for drift is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, and this causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds that are common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by temperatures that increase with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. Inversions begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator can also identify inversions. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates, indicates good vertical air mixing.

Resistance Management: Because of the inherent risks of resistance development to any product, Abacus V should be used in a sound resistance management program that includes rotation with other products with different modes of action.

*Not a dormant oil. 1The rate of Abacus V per 100 gals. is based on a volume of 400 gals./Acre dilute spray.2To determine the amount of product per acre for concentrate sprays, first determine the amount that would be required in a full cover dilute spray. Use the same amount of product per acre in concentrate sprays as would be required for the dilute sprays to the same orchard/grove. This may result in use of less than 10 fl. oz./Acre on small trees.Application Instructions / Apples• Apply Abacus V using conventional dilute or concentrate ground sprayers calibrated to deliver sufficient water for

thorough coverage. Gallonage of spray will vary with size and number of trees per acre and density of foliage. In any case, thorough coverage is essential for good spider mite and insect control.

• For best results, apply in combination with horticultural spray oil (not a dormant oil) as directed. Applications without horticultural spray oil* may result in reduced efficacy and/or residual control.

• Do not graze treated orchards.• For best results, use Abacus V in combination with a horticultural spray oil* approved for use on apples. Apply Abacus V

when spider mite or insect thresholds are reached. A second application may be made if necessary to maintain control.• White Apple Leafhopper (Not for use west of the Rocky Mountains): Application of Abacus V is limited only to

first generation white apple leafhopper. Apply soon after petal fall in combination with horticultural spray oil*.• Spider Mites: For best results, apply before a threshold of 5 spider mites per leaf is reached. Residual spider mite

control with Abacus V in combination with Horticultural spray oil* is greater from spray deposits on newer leaves compared to older. Limit applications of Abacus V for spider mite control to a period extending from petalfall through six weeks following petal fall.

• Tentiform Leafminers: For best results, apply against egg (to control new hatch) and early sap feeder stages of first and second generation tentiform leafminers when locally established thresholds have been reached. Do no apply during bloom.

Use Restrictions / Apples• Do not exceed 20 fl. oz. of Abacus V per acre per application or 40 fl. oz./Acre in a growing season of this or any other

foliarly applied abamectin containing product.• Do not make more than 2 applications per growing season of this or any other foliarly applied abamectin containing product. • Do not apply in less than 40 gals. of water per acre.• If a second application is necessary, do not retreat within 21 days.• Do not apply within 28 days of harvest.• Do not apply by aircraft.• Abacus V, in combination with horticultural spray oil*, may cause fruit injury to certain varieties of apples, e.g., russetting

on light-skinned varieties such as Golden Delicious, when used alone or when other products are applied sequentially. The Directions for Use and Precautions on horticultural spray oil labels, as well as precautions in official spray guides should be followed carefully when using Abacus V in combination with horticultural spray oil (not a dormant oil).

Aerial application is permitted because of its importance to the avocado growing industry. However, aerial application is not the preferred method of application for the best control of thrips. With aerial application, spray coverage and the resulting control of thrips is less than with ground application. For this reason, the user accepts all liability for the level and duration of control of thrips when Abacus V is aerially applied.Gallons of spray will vary with size and number of trees per acre and density of foliage. In any case, thorough coverage is essential for good mite and insect control.• For best results, apply when immature thrips are first observed but before numbers exceed 5 immature

thrips per leaf/fruit. Use 10 - 15 fl. oz. of product/Acre for low* to moderate* infestations and 15 - 20 fl. oz. of product/Acre for high* or severe* infestations. Add a 1.0% - 4% NR (narrow range) 415 oil in combination with a horticultural spray oil (not a dormant oil) approved for use on avocados.

• Make a second application, if needed, to maintain control, but wait at least 30 days after the first application to retreat. (See Use Restrictions)

• For Ground Application: If spray volume is greater than 400 gals./Acre, apply Abacus V at a rate of 2.5 fl. oz. per 100 gals. of water plus 1.0% - 4.0% of an NR 415 oil.

NOTE: To prevent crop injury, observe all precautions and restrictions on the oil label. When using oil concentrations above 2.0%, treat a small test area before making a large-scale application.
